Import and custom particulars

In Honduras, as they update their customs processes, it becomes increasingly vital for U.S. exporters to ensure accurate documentation to prevent delays or penalties. For agricultural products, obtaining an import permit from SENASA is imperative, now conveniently available online. This permit necessitates a Phyto- or Zoo-Sanitary Certificate, a Certificate of Origin, and a photocopy of the invoice, with all details matching – importer and exporter information, quantities, product descriptions, and origins.

When it comes to animal-based food, labels in Spanish displaying the expiration date, lot number, and production date are obligatory. While SENASA might provide leeway for first-time oversights, repeat offenses could lead to product exclusion. It's essential to note that SENASA only acknowledges certificates from U.S. federal authorities, not commercial entities, under an agreement where Honduras recognizes U.S. inspections as equivalent to their own.

For U.S. poultry exports, an FSIS Certificate from the USDA affirming the meat originates from an Avian Influenza-free zone is mandatory. Both importers and exporters should stay updated on the health statuses of their product origins. Since June 2020, obtaining permits has expedited with the submission of all required documents.

Dairy imports necessitate a separate license from the Ministry of Economic Development, covering items such as milk, cheese, and baby formula. Registration is a one-time process, and the license is initially valid for 60 days but can be renewed. Importers will require this number for taxation purposes when importing dairy products.

What paperwork is needed for international shipments to Honduras?

Documentation requirements vary depending on the cargo category and can be extensive. Typically, they include a commercial invoice, Bill of Lading/Air Waybill, Packing List, Insurance Certificate, and Certificate of Origin (if needed).

To ensure smooth shipping to Honduras and prevent delays or complications, it's crucial to provide a detailed packing list. Avoid vague terms like "miscellaneous," as they may draw unwanted attention and trigger additional inspections.

What are the regulations and restrictions when shipping to Honduras?

Regulations governing imports into Honduras can be stringent, particularly for certain categories of cargo. Items such as agricultural products, processed foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and antiques may require prior authorization or special permits.

Prohibited commodities include certain used vehicles, clothing and accessories, tires, specific machinery, as well as toxic wastes or dangerous residues.

Duties and tariffs are typically assessed based on the total shipment value. The level of documentation provided can influence these assessments, sometimes subject to the discretion of Customs Officials.
